Description

(Aviación del Ejército Equatorina = AEE). Two-piece construction, in silvered metal with blue, yellow, red and black enamels, maker marked with the N.S. Meyer company insignia and marked "22M" within a shield on the reverse, measuring 63 mm (w) x 22.5 mm (h), dual push pins, intact enamels, on its N.S. Meyer card of issue, extremely fine.

Footnote: The aviation element of the Army (Ejército) was formed in 1954 originally named Servicio Aéreo del Ejército (SAE). It was renamed Aviación del Ejército Equatorina (AEE) in 1978. From 1981 onward the flying elements were concentrated into an aviation-brigade, effectively transforming the army-aviation into an operational brigade within the army-structure. Honouring the army-aviation's role in the Paquisha conflict in 1981, the unit was renamed Brigada de Aviación del Ejército No.15 "Paquisha" (BAE) on July 1, 1987. Finally, in 1996 the BAE gained the status of a full arm within the army recognizing its vital role in the Cenepa conflict of 1995.
